Reid uses tragedy in Nevada to push Gun Control but Ignores Culture of Violence

Less than 24 hours after two psychopathic drug addicts gunned down police officers in Nevada, the anti-gun idiots in congress – lead by Harry Reid – are trying to use the tragedy to push their agenda.

Earlier this morning Senator Harry Reid went to the house floor to call for more gun control legislation in the wake of yesterday’s violence.

Reid said: “We in Congress have a duty to put in place legislation that helps prevent these deranged, these weird, these evil people who carry out such savage acts of violence,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “A step in the right direction would be universal background checks, so that people who are criminals, who are deranged, can’t buy a gun.”

What he failed to mention was the fact that one of the shooters was stopped by someone who was legally carrying a concealed handgun in Walmart. Instead, Reid and the rest of the slime balls in the media are trying to paint the psychopathic couple as tea party activists, while at the same time ignoring the real hero in this situation, because highlighting someone who was conceal carrying would be a little inconvenient to their narrative.

A Culture of Violence….

What gets me every time one of these shootings happens is how people completely ignore our insane culture of violence. The same idiots in the media, the government, and in Hollywood who can’t stop blaming guns, are the same people who push a culture of immorality and violence.

How can we blame guns, while ignoring the violence and immoral garbage that is pushed on society every day?

We now have Emmy Award winning T.V. shows that glorify Meth Users.

What message do today’s kids receive when a show like Breaking Bad – whose main character is a meth user and meth dealer –wins award after award and is celebrated by the mainstream media? During the Finale of the Show, the Huffington post actually ran the headline “Celebrate ‘Breaking Bad’ Finale With This ‘Blue Meth’ Cocktail.”

By all accounts, the two people who committed these awful acts of violence were Meth addicts. But instead of focusing on whether drugs had anything to do with what happened the media instead focuses on politics and tries to play this off as some right vs left issue. And just like with every other tragedy, the American people buy it hook, line, and sinker.

On the same weekend that this happened in Las Vegas, over 30 people were shot in Chicago. Where are the headline news stories over the violence in Chicago? Is the gang violence that plagues the streets of Chicago not important, or is the narrative inconvenient to those who want to push a certain agenda?

After all, Chicago is one of the most anti-gun cities in America, where law-abiding citizens find it almost impossible to purchase a firearm. Yet, Chicago has the highest murder rates in the country.

We have a REAL PROBLEM in this country. There are far too many crazy people committing awful acts of violence, and this is an issue that should concern everyone. When the simple act of sitting inside a restaurant becomes a risk to your life, you really have to take a serious look at what’s going on here.

There are crazy people in this world ­­­– crazy people on both sides of the political aisle – but blaming this on political ideology does nothing to solve the real problems that are facing us.

Maybe where I live same rules do not apply, a colony of the United States, where is is complicated to have three million people with handguns and rifles. Gun laws are as restrictive as can be, even being a woman is a point against getting a gun license. First you get a license to use a gun at a shooting range, exclusively, then you get a license or permit to carry a gun, but you must justify the need, i.e. armed security guard, business owner, etc. Criminals care not about gun laws and carry them freely, often time, their guns are way better than law enforcement officer’s guns. Their excuse was that independentistas could arm themselves and start a revolution for the independence of Puerto Rico. This law was mandated(unofficially) by the federal government. I understand the need of bacground checks to prevent access to guns to mentally ill persons and criminals. But that is a s far as it should go. I also see the point in registering guns to a specific person, and like vehicles, any change in ownership should be registered and gun theft or lost guns too. As long as I pass background checks I should be able to buy guns, from dealers or previous owners.

this is going to sound so racist, but i try and live by GODS LAW, and the law of the land as our forefathers intended.
everytime a white guy kills someone it is a major news story, but when a black guy kills you don’t hear about it, with all of the killings in nyc, la, chicago, new orleans why don’t obama and his bleeding heart far left bunch of croonies address that problem,,no he wants to take away more of the peoples guns that just to protect thier family,,,
GUNS DON’T KILL, PEOPLE KILL.
don’t blame the gun for what the person behind it did.
outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns.
